This paper analyzes certain technical details of Floridi’s Theory of Strongly Semantic Infor-mation. It provides a clarification regarding desirable properties of degrees of informative-ness functions by rejecting three of Floridi’s original constraints and proposing a replace-ment constraint. Finally, the paper briefly explores the notion of quantities of inaccuracy and shows an analysis that mimics Floridi’s analysis of quantities of vacuity.
